Autumn reflections on the larger lake at "Chartwell," near Westerham, Kent, England.
Commentary.
A somewhat austere, brick-built house,
but in a splendid location.
it is set on the south-east side of
Crockham Hill Common on a wooded hillside
overlooking the Kentish Weald.
The country home of Winston Churchill, during World War Two, his study had views south-east, beyond Chiddingstone Church and as far as the High Weald, near Crowborough.
The grounds are splendid –
ponds, rock gardens, rose gardens, kitchen gardens,
orchards, lawns and meadow features.
Churchill’s beloved art studio is below the house,
still containing his mainly Mediterranean collection of paintings, plus much WW2 memorabilia, shared with
the public by National Trust guides.
